Italian photographer Francesco Ridolfi is no stranger to creating highly-produced, conceptually-driven images.
For his latest project, Chess Portraits, Francesco drew his inspiration from the classic game of chess. Francesco created 6 chess pieces, and paired them up as opposing light and dark duality similar to the game of chess.
“Often, inside each one of us, opposing drives make themselves felt and alternate within as light illuminates and shadow darkens our minds. Black and White. Good plays Evil.Chess figures offer an opportunity to explore this dualism. They provide a set of archetypes that convey different aspects of human nature.They throw us into relief; they highlight us in shadow and light. Blacks and Whites.”
